The sealing is only as good as the lens and there's only a handful of sealed lenses in the lineup. Outside of the 5 that are in the pro lineup (7-14, 12-40, 40-150, 300, and 8 fisheye), the only lens from Olympus that's sealed is the 60 macro. From all the Mirrorless manufacturer I trust Olympus with weather sealing most.
If you plan on using small primes then either body is fine I myself prefer the beefier grip of the E-M1. When I used to shoot the original E-M5 I always wanted the add on grip. Also the other difference is the type of screen you like, whether you want a flip up or down screen or a fully articulating screen like on the 60/70/80D series. While I like the articulating screen for vertical portraits using live view, I found the pulling out, rotating, shooting, then rotating back action to be more of a hassle. The E-M5II has high res mode as well while the E-M1 does not but the uses of that are rather limited due to the restrictions on it (tripod, no movements in the scene or you get artifacts, etc).
The E-M1 right now is rather cheap, I know myself after getting my K-1 I'll be listing mine on the B&S forum. You can probably snag a great deal on one soon since a E-MII is rumored to be on the way around Photokina.
